Ant International has launched Alipay+ Voyager, an AI travel companion integrated into digital wallets, with launch partners including Agoda, Fliggy, and Trip.com to simplify travel experiences for global consumers.
The Singapore-based company combines its agentic AI capabilities with cross-border travel services from OTA partners and 100 million global merchants in Alipay+’s ecosystem. Through a single AI interface embedded in e-wallets and super apps, Voyager assists travelers via text or voice in their local language for itinerary planning, booking, and purchasing in-destination merchant offerings.
Alipay+ Voyager launched on three of Asia’s biggest mobile wallets—Alipay (Chinese mainland), AlipayHK (Hong Kong SAR, China) and GCash (Philippines)—ahead of summer travel peak, with rollout to more payment partners throughout 2025.
Alipay+, which started as a cross-border payment solution, now helps 36 leading e-wallets and payment apps with 1.7 billion consumer accounts connect to over 100 million merchants. The online travel market is expected to grow 10% annually through 2032, with mobile comprising two-thirds of traffic.
Key features include intelligent end-to-end assistance from familiar wallets, real-time global-to-local connections for services like ride-hailing and dining, purposeful curation that understands user preferences and proactively solves problems, plus a new growth gateway for merchants and OTAs.
“Travellers today are using more tech to enhance their trips, and there is a need for the industry to adapt and meet these new and emerging expectations,” said Douglas Feagin, President of Ant International. “By integrating a proactive, always-on AI travel companion within digital wallets that consumers already use frequently, we’re empowering travel and wallet partners with new opportunities to engage travellers in a more relevant, personalised way.”
Gil Hazan, Senior Vice President of Strategic Partnerships at Agoda, said the collaboration enables broader audience reach and tailored travel solutions for diverse traveler needs.
